This morning I was studying in the book of Joel and these verses jumped out at me and here is why.

While there is time - We all think that we will make changes in our life later. Unfortunately we may not have a later, today may be it so why wait. Stop setting on the bench and get into the game.

Don't tear you clothing in grief but tear you hearts instead - God isn't impressed by our emotional games or even our spiritual games what he wants is a broken and repentant heart.

Return to the Lord for he is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and full of unfailing love! He is EAGER to relent and not punish! - Enough said!

Who knows? Perhaps he will give you a reprieve, sending you a blessing instead of a curse. - This is what excited me, I always feel like the worst is going to happen when I sin. I feel like God might just be so ready to give me exactly what I deserve but I love that statement - A blessing instead of a curse. Way cool!!!!
